Barnaby's Escape
i EVER had a nephew better res
sons for striving to keep on good
' terms with his uncle. There w
the profitable business In the city which
John Goldby had promised should be
his when be retired, and there was
BesRte. I'.arnaby Morton thought a
good deal more of his pretty cousin
than of the business naturally, for the
business had no mind to change, and
Bessie bad.
They were not engaged. John Gold
by, perhaps, for reasons of his own,
possibly in Bessie's interest, had for
bidden him to ask the momentous ques
tion uutil she had seen a little more
of the world.
"There's plenty of time for that," he
said, and refused to listen to argu
ment. Had his answer been favorable,
most likely Bessie would have laughed
in her lover's face they had so long
been na brother and sister. But she
liked him better than any one else, sue
had told him so.
finch was the situation when Barnaby
was requested to look after his uncle's
house during the absence of the family
at Urlgbton.
"1 don't want you to neglect the busi
ness, you know," John Goldby exclaim
ed. "You can leave an hour sooner,
then you'll get here at 0. Don't be ab
sent at night on any account; and if you
go out for a walk, mind you come in
early. The parlor maid goes with us,
but the cook will be here to attend to
you."
His concluding words were:
"Now don't let there be another burg
lary." Barnaby promised to obey every In
junction faithfully. But he wouldn't
have believed that Bessie's absence
could make such a difference he found
those evenings at Mayborn Villa deadly
dulL Seven of them he bore, then tem
pered bis solitude with friends, to
whom he gave little dinners In return
for their companionship.
One afternoon the most obliging of
these young geotlemen, a doctor whose
practice had scarcely begun to sprout,
called at Mr. Goldby's office In the city.
"I want you to do me a favor. Mor
ton," said he. "You know Miss Trevor.
I've persuaded her to let me take her
to the theater to-night. Her aunt goes,
of course. I should be eternally
obliged If yon would contrive to meet
os quite by accident, you know and
take charge of the old lady. She's
polled every opportunity I've had so
far. and I want to bring the affair to
head.
"I'm very sorry, Selby," Barnaby re
joined. "You know I promised the
governor I would spend every evening
at his bouse."
"Ys; but you're the only fellow I'm
acquainted with who knows Mlas
Trevor and her aunt. I'm afraid a
stranger to them wouldn't be able to
belp me much When la the governor
expected back 7'
"To-morrow."
"And he has been away three weeks.
Burglars don't work haphazard. If a
robbery had been planned, your pres
ence every night would have spoiled it.
Besides, you get home before 12. Come,
I make a personal matter of It."
Barnaby hesitated, and of course was
lost. But be did not abandon the posi
tion, all at once.
"I know I ought not to go, Dick. It's
only two years since the house was bur
gled. If anything were to happen,
uncle would never forgive me. Still,
If I were In your place, you would belp
me out If you could."
"Yea, I would. But why not set a
few burglar traps? You'll be all right
then. If this very Improbable event
should take place."
"What sort of trapsr
"Some of my own Invention. You've
heard of McCloskey's whisky that kill
ed at forty rods dropped the drinker
at any rate?"
Barnaby nodded.
''Well, my traps are like that. I'll
run back to the surgery and get the
stuff. Meet me at Waterloo at 4
o'clock."
They met at the appointed hour. Sel
by had the burglar traps In a medicine
bottle. Thirty-five minutes later they
ware at Maythorn Villa, preparing to
set them.
"Three will be sutHcieut." said the
Inventor. "One for the pantry, where
the plate is kept; one for your aunt's
dressing room where you say she keeps
her Jewels; the other for the drawing
room, which Is littered with valuable
nick-knacks. Half fill three decanters
with mixod port and brandy plenty of
brandy, you know, for the burglar may
taste the stuff and get three wiue
glasses."
Barnaby procured these adjuncts.
Selby divided the contents of the medi
cine bottle between the decanters.
"It's a strong preparation of opiates."
he explained. "All you have to do Is
to put a decanter and glass in each of
the safes and another In the drawing
room. If a burglar enters any of these
rooms the first thing be will see will
be the wlue. ne'll pour out a glass
ful, gulp It down they're thirsty souls,

to about a minute and a half. It won't
hurt him, but you will find him here
to-Biorrew."
nfs a good Idea," said Barnaby,
"but suppose the cook discovers the
tuffr
"You must warn her."
When the traps had been set so that
the most purblind burglar could not
fall to see them, Barnaby went to the
kitchen.
"Look here, Mary," said he, "I'm go
ing out I've put three decanters of
wine about the house. Don't touch
them."
The cook fired up In an Instant
"What do you take me for?" she de
manded. "A woman. Mary. Itc-uiember what
happened In Eden, and don't be tempt
ed." He retreated In a hurry, dressed, and
left the house with Solby, perfectly
easy In his mlud. At the theater he
met his friend and the iadfes, by the
merest chance, most carefully ax
ranged, of course, but despite his ear
neat adaavar t be of service, be could
net procure Selby the desired oppor
tunity. However, when they reached
the street after the play It was raining
fast, the doctor had an inspiration. In
stead of calling a growler he . hailed
two hansoms, bustled the younger lady
into one. Jumped in himself, and was
driven off, leaving the astonished and
angry chaperon with his friend. The
trick succeeded admirably, bat Barna
by missed the last train to Twicken
ham In consequence.
Meanwhile the Goldbys had been en
Joying their annual holiday, especially
Bessie. She had formed the acquaint
ance of a certain Captain Dashbury,
and, alas! for woman's constancy, had
almost made up her mind that she
could never be more than a sister to
Barnaby now. And John Goldby waa
equally well disposed toward the gal
lant officer; Indeed, he told Mrs. G.
that with the money Bessie would
have, he had always expected her to
marry Into one of the professions.
Just about the time that Barnaby
and bis chum were setting the burglar
traps, Mr. Goldby and his new ac
quaintance were sauntering along the
King s Road.
"By the way," said the captain, "I
think of running up to town to-mor
row. If you don't mind, Goldby, I'll
travel with you."
John Goldby expressed the pleasure
he felt
"You must come to Twickenham and
dine wlrh-us," he added. "I won't take
a refusal."
"I aha'n't give you the chance,'
laughed the captain.
When they separated John Goldby
hurried to the nearest office and sent a
long telegram of Instructions to the
cook, reply prepaid. He also wired to
Barnaby at the office there was just
time to catch him before S and the
cook would need money to get some
of the things he had ordered for the
dinner on the morrow. He then re
turned home to await the answers.
None were forthcoming. He waited an
hour, then thinking the telegrams
might have miscarried, he repeated
them, sending Barnaby's to Maythorn
Villa. Still there was no answer. By
this time he was thoroughly alarmed.
"There must be something wrong,"
he told his wife and daughter. "Who
knows? The house may have been
robbed and Barnaby and the cook both
murdered In their beds! I shall go
home at once. You had better follow
on the first train In to-morrow. Mind
you bring Captain Dashbury," and he
rushed away.
Shortly after 11 o'clock next morning
Mrs. Goldby and Bessie, escorted by
the captain and accompanied by their
maid, arrived at Twickenham station.
and leaving the luggage to follow, pro
ceeded home In a hired landau. Fifteen
minutes later they reached Maythorn
Villa. Captain Dashbury rang. No
one came to the door. He rang again
and knocked. No result The house
seemed deserted, strangely silent Mrs.
Goldby noticed that all the blinds were
drawn.
What can have happened r she
cried, and ran to the back. The door
was wide open. Passing swiftly
through the hall, she admitted the
others, and went straight to the draw
ing room. Next Instant, a shriek, such
as only a terrified woman can utter,
startled all within hearing. Bessie
followed quickly, and found her mother
staring with frightened eyes at the
body of a man lying flat on his back
on the hearthstone.
It was John Goldby, not dead. In
deed, but snoring almost loud enough
to wake the dead.
"He's been murdered!" cried Bessie,
and she burst Into tears.
But Captain Dashbury knew better.
"No, not It isn't so bad as that
Don't distress yourself. He's only in
a fit" he said, and stooping, he unfas
tened the insensible gentleman col
lar, and tried to lift him into a chair.
But John Goldby was no light weight
and the captain had to let him fall;
Indeed, he fell with him, rising deadly
pale.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," murmured poor,
terrified Mrs. Goldby, glancing hast
ily round for a cordial. A decanter
and wine glass stood on a gypsy table.
Seizing both she poured out a draught
of the liquor, though her fingers trem
bled so that she quite spoiled the car
pet "Prink this!" she cried.
He took the glass and gulped down
the wine. As be did so, the maid burst
into the room wringing her hands.
"Oh, if you please, ma'am, I've been
to the kitchen. Cook's fast asleep In
her chair, and I can't wake her."
"What shall we do?" cried Bessie.
"Captain Dashbury, what are we to
do?' But the captain was staggering
about the room.
"That wine's drugged." he mnttered,
and fell on an ottoman Insensible.
The maid rushed from the house
shouting for the police. At the garden
gate she ran against Barnaby in even
ing dress. He bad been to the office
to see the letters and had now come to
assure himself that all was right at
Maythorn Villa, change his clothes, and
give the cook a sum of money, as In
structed by the telegram.-
"Back already?" he cried. "Why,
wlt.-it's the matter?"
"Go in, go In," she answered, and
shouted "Police!" louder than before.
Instinctively he guessed something
of what had happened, but he was
quite unprepared for the reality.
Hurrying Into the bouse he saw his
uncle and a stranger lying, insensible,
his aunt and cousin In hysterlcand
ran at his best speed for a doctor and
stomach pump.
"This has ruined me!" he muttered
as he raa. "Uncle will never let me
have Bessie now. Dick Selby, you will
have something to answer for."
Luckily, Dr. Maddock was at home.
Bringing antidotes and the necessary
instrument he returned with the re
morseful Barnaby. A police sergeant
and a constable were in the room.
They had lifted John Goldby Into a
chair. Having tasted the drugged
wine. Dr. Maddock examined the mas
ter of the house.
"He'll soon be all right" he said
cheerfully. "He'll wake up of his own
acord shortly. Better let him sleep it
off where he Is." He turned to Captain
Dashbury, whom the officers were
steadfastly regarding. "I understand
this gentleman has only Just taken thej
opiate. He'll come round sooner If we
use the stomach-pump. Perhaps you
will carry him out of the room, offi
cers ?"
"Before we move him," said the ser
geant, glancing toward Mrs. Goldby,
who, assured of her husband's safety,'
was almost herself again. "I should
like to know what he calls himself and,
what be is doing In Mr. Goldby's
house?'
"He is Captain Dashbury," she an
swered. He Is here by Mr. Goldby's
Invitation."
"He may call himself Captain Dash
bury," rejoined the sergeant with a
grim smile. "He went hy the name of.

he got five years for swindling. I

doable quick, Jones," turning to his
companion, "fetch another officer and
a stretcher. He'll go very quietly, 1
don't doubt, and the police surgeon will
bring him round. I'm curious to know
where be reported last"
The constable left the bouse.
Pale enough Bessie had been until
the sergeant uttered the damning state
ment Her face as she stole from the
room was crimson.
Barnaby was saved, though he was
quite unaware of it
Mr. Goldby awoke dazed, unable at
first to comprehend what had happen
ed to him. But when all was made
clear he wrung Barnaby's hand.
"Don't worry about dosing me, my
boy," he said. "I owe you more than
you think. I was in a pretty state when
I found the cook asleep and was un
able to arouse her, and I drank a glass
of wine to steady my nerves. I must
have dropped almost instantly. But
we'll say no more about It"
The cook also recovered speedily. Sht
had slept since 5 o'clock the previous
evening. Of course, she declared that
she never would have thought of touch
ing the wine If Barnaby had not arous
ed her curiosity.
John Goldby never told Barnaby
what had passed between the bogus
captain and Bessie at Brighton, nor has
Mrs. Barnaby Morton yet found cour
age to confess. Of Robert Hawkins
nothing more was heard, except that
he was handed over to the authorities
of another town and sent back to prison
for failing to report himself. Waverley

Maklnn Steel Pens.
Briefly described, steel pens are made
aa follows: First ue steel is roiiea
Into big sheets and then cut Into strips
about three inches In width. The strips
are heated to a bright red and are then
allowed to cool gradually, wblcU an
neals them. They are next rolled to
the necessary thinness, and are cut
into blank flat pens, and the pens,
while flat, are usually stamped with
the brand or the name of the manu
facturer. To shape the pens Is the next process.
The rounding makes them bold the Ink
and distribute It more gradually and
evenly than could be done If they were
flat To harden them they are heated
to a cherry red, and then suddenly
cooled. This not only hardens them,
but makes them elastic. The polish
ing, slitting, pointing and finishing
come next and then they are ready
for use. The little holes In the pens
at the end of the suts serve to make
them more elastic and to facilitate the
flow of the ink. It Is said that more
steel Is now used In the manufacture of
pens than in that of swords. It Is even
claimed that the metal annually used
in their manufacture weighs more than
all the metal used In the manufacture
of war Implements. If this be true,
much force' Is added to the time-honored
saying that "the pen is mightier
than the sword."

Wild. Collies.
The dog has not hitherto been classed
among the wild animals of Canada, but
It would not be altogether wrong to
put him Into that category. A Mani
toba paper, the Western Prairie, vouch
es and accounts for the presence of
wild dogs In Canada.
They live In the great woods of the
Turtle Mountains, and are collies that
are wonderfully fleet and wild and
watchful, and are fast Increasing In
numbers. They belonged at one time
to the half-breed population, but have
renounced even that measure of civili
sation and become quite wild.
They live by catching and devouring
rabbits, and protect themselves from
the cold by burrowing In the ground
Just as wolves do. generally selecting
a situation protected by brushwood or
fallen timber. Settlers are In the habit
of capturing the young puppies, when
a den can be found.
The pupplea are easUy tamed and
proveBuperlordogs.aathey combine the
qualities of civilised and wild dog na
ture. They possess amaslng swiftness,
energy and Intelligence, and are obe
dient and self-reliant.
